FDR Boulevard Reaches Pegg Road After Years Of Construction

LEXINGTON PARK, Md. — Mike Hewitt remembers his father asking why St. Mary’s County needed another road when the one in front of his business worked fine. It was the 1970s, Hewitt recalled, and a county commissioner had stopped by to tell his father about a road planned behind the business. The idea was to give drivers somewhere else to go when a crash backed up traffic.

New stretch of FDR Boulevard opens in St. Mary’s

The new phase of FDR Boulevard might just be the best one yet, according to project engineer Allen Settle. On Tuesday afternoon, the St. Mary’s County commissioners and representatives from the department of public works and transportation hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the newest extension of FDR Boulevard, which officially opened to drivers the following day. “Today is an opportunity to recognize just how far we’ve come,” Commissioner President Randy Guy (R) said. “The vision for FDR Boulevard has always been about more than building another road. It’s about creating a strong, more connected transportation network that meets the needs of our residents today while preparing our community for the future.” The roadway, which starts at St. Andrew’s Church Road in California, now stretches down past Buck Hewitt Road to Pegg Road in Lexington Park. A separate portion of the road from Great Mills Road to Shangri-La Drive in Lexington Park does not currently connect to the newest extension at Pegg Road. This most recent phase involved adding a new traffic light at the intersection of FDR Boulevard and Pegg Road and building new entrances at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, Plaza Azteca restaurant and the Hampton Inn Hotel,

Alice’s Landing nonprofit addresses domestic violence, homelessness in Southern Maryland

After 30 years in the nonprofit world, Phyllis Trouard of Leonardtown was tired of waiting for a solution to the domestic violence and homelessness crises facing Southern Maryland. “A group of us were standing out in the parking lot, and somebody says, ‘You know, we can do better,’” she said. “It went from ‘we can do better’ to ‘let’s just do it.’” This past summer, Trouard founded Alice’s Landing, a nonprofit organization focused on providing domestic violence survivors and unhoused individuals with shelter and resources to heal and thrive. “The problem in Southern Maryland is you can’t knock on a door and get help,” she said. “There’s no place for domestic violence to go, and restraining orders don’t stop anybody.” While the organization looks for a space to operate, Trouard has begun providing services such as safe sleep classes, diaper deliveries and financial counseling. She is working with children of domestic violence survivors, because growing up in that environment can impact not only their mental health but their future relationships, she said. “I think what happens though is that you get to a point in life where you have to either go ‘OK, let’s step in and do something’ because
